The simplicity of it is logic defying. It used to be that you had to find crosswalks or move puzzle pieces or type blurred letters and numbers, but NOW all the sudden I can just click a box and HEY!, I'm human?

That's hardly the Turing Test I'd expected.

Nah that's different as well. What they are filtering out is

  • a mouse teleporting to the exact center of the checkbox
  • a mouse smoothly gliding in a straight line to the center if the checkbook
  • a mouse traveling in a straight line to the center of the checkbook with some momentary stutters to add noise

Et cetera. Humans are much noiser than anything a python script will spit out. Of course there are ways to get around this, like recording and reenacting a human mouse movement, but the point of any capcha system is to make it significantly more difficult to bot, not impossible.

No OP was right. If the reCaptcha is on the same page as a login, and I use my password manager to fill the fields, I fail the reCaptcha almost every time. I have to manually paste in the user name and password separately to slow things down to act more human...

This never happens to me, I always instantly autofill with my password manager.

Some sites fail, have noticed this as well.

I hate to bring this up to you, but you seem to be losing your humanity as we speak.
